Zhu Cihong sent Wang Jinlong out, all the way out of the Qianqing Gate, and then arranged for the cabinet pedestrians to find a sedan chair to send Wang Jinlong to the North Post House.

Cabinet pedestrians are officials who run errands in the cabinet, and their ranks are very low, generally from the seventh rank or the eighth grade.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were divided into nine levels, and those below the seventh grade were not in the stream, in other words, they were not official officials of the state, but could only be said to be officials.

Zhu Cihong's head was very clear, and he said to Wang Jinlong in parting: "Hey! Lord Wang, you just said that your original era was roughly summarized as one more, two big, and three strong, and you didn't finish talking about it! In this way, you will come to my Yuqing Palace another day, the prince is ready to eat and drink, and you can drink the imperial wine as you like, how about our brothers and sisters talk while eating? Prince Ben really wants to hear your story. ”

"Good! Definitely, another day, the minister will visit the prince. ”

Obedient and obedient, Wang Jinlong realized that he was a little bit of that, and it was very necessary to have a good relationship with this guy, but this guy must see himself as an alcoholic, otherwise he wouldn't say that you can drink the imperial wine casually.

I rub! You can't blame people for misunderstanding, grandma! I was drunk in the Qianqing Palace in the morning, and I drank almost in the Kunning Palace at noon, which can't help but make people suspect that they are very greedy.

The North Post House is between Andingmen and the harem, not far from Wang Chengen's mansion.

After Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beiping Mansion, Nanjing also left a set of teams to manage Jiangnan affairs, and there were many officials who came and went between the two capitals every year, so it was natural to build post houses to receive officials.

Beiping Mansion has become the capital, it is natural to strengthen the guard, and the Northern Yuan has been unwilling to give up the Central Plains, the great rivers and mountains, often disturbing the territory of the Ming Dynasty, therefore, Zhu Di mobilized the country's troops stationed in various places around the capital, these border troops from time to time according to the war situation to go out of the fortress to fight the forces of the Northern Yuan, not to mention sporadic small troops to fight, that is, Zhu Di has also led the army five times into the Mongolian steppe to drive the expedition, many of these generals who led the troops are lords, all of them have made military achievements, and they naturally want a high-level reception when they come to Beijing, So, Zhu Di ordered another post house to be built to receive nobles and high-ranking officials, which is the origin of the North Post House.

The other post house is located in the west of the palace, mainly to receive officials from all over the world who come to Beijing on errands.

Later, under the blow of the Ming army, the Northern Yuan forces did not dare to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and only occasionally came in to attack and disturb, mainly to rob things, because the natural environment of the Mongolian steppe is poor, and they are very stupid, many things can not be made by themselves, lack of daily necessities and tools, can only come to the interior to rob.

Later, with the replacement of the old and the new, the new generation of Beiyuan people also recognized that they could not beat the Ming Dynasty, so they did not want to compete with the Ming Dynasty for territory.

The only thing I want to do is Warat.

Warat is a branch of the Northern Yuan, after the Yuan retreated from the Central Plains, Mongolia was divided, East and West Mongolia competed with each other, the war was endless, after many years of conquest, the Tatar power continued to weaken, and Warat gradually became stronger.

In the sixteenth year of Yongle, Mahamu's son Tuhuan succeeded his father as the king of Shunning. A few years later, Tuhuan broke through the Tatars, annexed its people, and unified the interior, its momentum is growing day by day, and the majestic view of Mobei, the descendants of Genghis Khan, Tuhuan established Genghis Khan's descendants, Tokhtar Buhua as a khan, and was named the Taishi by the Ming Dynasty, and held the real power of the Wara Department.

Ming Yingzong orthodox four years, Tuhuan died, and his son also succeeded to the throne first, not only all the southern parts of the desert were conquered, but also the east of Goryeo, the west of Hami, most of the grassland, all under its control.

At first, the envoys sent were only 50 people, and then they were greedy for the court's rewards, and the age increased to more than 2,000 people, and repeatedly asked for valuable and rare things. If it fails slightly, it will create an incident, and the property given by the Ming court will have to increase over the years.

In February of the 14th year of orthodoxy, the Ming Dynasty Taishi also sent more than 2,000 people to pay tribute to horses, falsely claiming to be 3,000 people, because the eunuch Wang Zhen refused to give more rewards, according to the actual number of rewards, and subtracted four-fifths of the price of the horses, failed to meet their requirements, and stopped doing it first, and began to create provocations.

In July, he also led the various departments first, and harassed the interior in four ways, the east road, from the detachment of the flower and the Wuliang Ha department to attack Liaodong, the west road, the faction will attack Ganzhou, Ganzhou is Zhangye, the middle road is the focus of the attack, and it is divided into two groups, one is led by the Ala Zhiyuan, directly attacking the Xuanfu siege Chicheng, and the other is led by the first person to attack Datong, among the four people, the first road is also the most powerful, the soldiers are very sharp, the Datong soldiers are defeated, and the castle outside the Saiwai is trapped.

At that time, Ming Yingzong favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, Empress Dowager Zhang died of illness, the patriarch Sanyang died or degraded, Wang Zhen was even more good at Weifu, unscrupulous, and actually stole the iron monument erected by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to prohibit the ministers from interfering in the government affairs. Since then, the power has been monopolized, and the private party has been widely planted, so that his nephew Wang Shan is the commander of Jinyiwei, and Wang Lin is the secretary of Jinyiwei.

The news of the defeat on the Datong front continued to spread to the capital, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was instigated and held hostage by Wang Zhen to prepare for the personal conscription, the military department Shangshu Kuang Ye and the squire Yu Qian said that the six divisions should not be lightly released, and the official Shangshu Wang was straightforward and the ministers were reluctant to advise, but Ming Yingzong believed in Wang Zhen and insisted on going his own way.

Due to improper organization, all military and political affairs were arbitrarily decided by Wang Zhen, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was the general, but he knelt forward in front of Wang Zhen; Wang Zuo, the head of the household, asked the emperor to return to the army, and Wang Zhen ordered him to kneel in the grass and not get up until dark. However, the ministers of civil and military affairs who accompanied the conscription did not allow them to participate in military and political affairs, and the army was in turmoil.

On July 19, the army left Juyongguan, passed through the arms, and arrived at Xuanfu. Arrived at Datong on August 1st, there was no confrontation, the town guard eunuch Guo Jing reported that he also first lured the Ming army to go deeper, and took the initiative to retreat north, Wang Zhen saw the Warat army retreating north, still insisted on advancing north, and then heard the defeat ahead, so he panicked and retreated, originally wanted to make Yingzong pass through his hometown of Ulzhou when he retreated, showing his majesty; Fearing that the army would damage his crops, the route of the march changed repeatedly, causing the soldiers to become exhausted. To Xuanfu, the Vara Brigade pursued the troops, the Ming army 30,000 cavalry were killed and plundered, on August 13, the embarrassed fled to Tumu Fort, the Wara army pressed the Ming army.

Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, repeatedly asked to gallop into Juyong Pass to ensure safety, but Wang Zhen was not allowed, the terrain of the civil fort was high, there was no spring and lack of water, and there was a river fifteen miles south of the civil fort, which was occupied by the Wara army, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty, and there was still no water when they dug two wells. The next day, the Wara army surrounded Tumubao, and also sent the advance to make a deception, and took the initiative to evacuate, in order to paralyze the Ming army, Ming Yingzong did not suspect fraud, sent Cao Nai to draft an edict, Wang Zhen ordered to move the camp to water, when the Ming army moved, the hungry and thirsty sergeants rushed up, rushed to the river, the men and horses were out of order, and the Wara army took the opportunity to attack.

The Ming army had to respond to the battle in a hurry, and the Ming army was defeated, and most of the officials and generals who followed Yingzong were killed in battle, and Yingzong also became a prisoner of Wara.

I heard that the army was defeated, Yingzong was also captured first, the capital was in turmoil, someone proposed to move south, Yu Qian, the squire of the military department, stood up and asked the empress dowager to agree and after everyone discussed and agreed, Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, was the emperor, and ordered the armed forces from all over the country to enter the king of Beijing Qin, transfer the troops from Henan, Shandong and other places into Beijing for defense, and transfer the grain from the warehouse in Tongzhou into Beijing.

On the sixth day of October, he led his troops to capture Baiyangkou, Bauhinia Pass, and Juyong Pass, and approached the capital, thus starting the defense of the Beijing Division.

Yu Qian is very brave, personally put on armor and carry out the sharp, led 220,000 soldiers, lined up outside the nine gates, the two sides fought for five days, the Ming army has achieved the Desheng Gate, Xizhi Gate, Changyi Gate victory, in view of the Ming Dynasty Qin Wang's army continued to rush to the capital, also first pulled out the camp and walked away on the night of the 15th, the Ming army pursued with artillery fire, killed the enemy 10,000 people, and also fled to Huiliang Township, Bauhinia Pass, the Ming army chased directly, successively defeated the enemy in Gu'an, Bazhou, captured Agui and other 18 people, so far, the defense of the Beijing division ended.

The Ming Dynasty lost 200,000 people first, and still defeated the invincible Wara army by the second-line troops, which was very commendable, so the Northern Yuan people no longer wanted to have a conflict with the Central Plains, because they couldn't take advantage of it, and killed 3,000 enemies and lost 800, even if they won, the price could not be afforded, after all, their population was too small, and there was no one to come from, so they could not afford to die.

For more than 200 years, the North Post House has been used as a royal hotel to entertain the families of the nobles and their families.

Wang Jinlong took a sedan chair to the North Post House.

There are two Yicheng in the North Post House, namely Liang Duo and Qian Jin, Liang Duo is the seventh product, and Qian Jin is from the seventh product.

There is a concept here, don't get confused, although the North Post House is also called a post house, it is actually a royal hotel or more accurately called a royal guest house, and there are two completely different places from the post stations in various places. The post station is mainly a place for the officials who transmit military information to eat and lodging and change horses on the way, and there is no war on the frontier in peacetime, so the post stations in various parts of the Ming Dynasty mainly serve the past officials.

The North Post House has a front yard and a back yard, the front yard is the place where the post house staff work and do things, and the back yard is the place where guests stay.

A long time ago, the North Post House was still relatively busy, since the beginning of the Apocalypse, the North Post House has been deserted, and there are basically no guests a month.

The main reason is that Wei Zhongxian controlled the government during the Apocalypse, and there was not much of a big deal, if he could not come to Beijing, no one would want to come to the capital, what if he provoked Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen?

When it came to the Chongzhen Dynasty, the nobles were even more reluctant to come, this Chongzhen Emperor was poor, and he was very stingy in various places, not to mention, the key was that it was not good to come to Beijing, either to arrange for them to lead troops to fight, or to ask them to help the country solve some difficulties economically.

This North Post House is always idle, sometimes some feudal officials and border marshals enter Beijing, and they will also arrange to live in the North Post House, even so, the North Post House is also very idle.

In the morning, Wang Jinlong's brothers were sent to the North Post House, and the eunuch who led the way passed the decree: In the future, the North Post House will be contracted by Lord Wang, and no one will be accepted, and those who have already moved in will go to his row, and Liang Duo and Qian Jin will know that Lord Wang who is going to live is not an ordinary person.

The two of them wondered, since this Lord Wang is called an adult, he must be an official, not a nobleman, why is he so awesome? The place in the North Post House is very large, there are ten or eight Hou Ye, each Hou Ye can arrange it with a large group of subordinates, how many subordinates should this Lord Wang bring?

From this, the two of them thought of what Lord Wang was doing in Beijing with so many people? How did these soldiers arrange to live in the North Post House? Or was it arranged by the emperor? Is this North Post House a place where soldiers can live? It seems that Lord Wang is an important person, and these soldiers live here to protect Lord Wang.

Seeing Li Xiaoshan, Zhao Shi and others who followed in, the two of them were surprised again, this is the person brought by Lord Wang? Why do they all look like they're from the countryside?

However, it is the people in the palace who come to pass the order, and it is the emperor's will that is transmitted, and the two of them dare not be sloppy, this situation is special, not to mention that it is a person, even a few monkeys, then they have to serve as grandfathers.

There are more than a dozen sets of separate small courtyards in the backyard of the North Post House, with more than a dozen houses in each yard, living room, tea room, master bedroom, auxiliary bedroom, personal maid room, small kitchen, and bath room.

In addition, there are dozens of standard houses in the compound, all of which are arranged for the noble entourage to live.

Where should we arrange for the first comer to live? The two of them can't figure it out, because they don't know how many more people will come, and who they will be.

Then ask, Liang Duo guessed that Li Xiaoshan and Zhao were really the little leaders, so he stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask, when will Lord Wang arrive?" How many more people are coming? ”

Li Xiaoshan replied, "Who knows? Our Lord Wang drank wine with the emperor all night last night, and when we came back in the morning, we didn't sleep for two hours, and the emperor called us away, but there were no others, just 20 of us and Lord Wang. ”

Yes! The two of them were surprised, just these twenty or so people chartered the North Post House? Liang Duo and Qian Jin were very surprised, and after discussing it, they simply arranged for everyone to live in the small courtyard no matter who they were, and they all served as uncles.

The opinions of two people were consulted, and the twenty people lived in two small courtyards.

Wang Jinlong ordered, no one is allowed to go out, what do you say are staying for? So, Li Xiaoshan and Zhao Shi organized two people to start queue training.

This training didn't matter, and immediately made Liang Duo and Qian Jin dumbfounded.

Dig the groove! This Lord Wang's soldiers look like village elders, but this queue can't help but admire, why is it so majestic? Look at the spirit of others, you look at the neat one that people walk, my mother! I've never seen it before! What kind of soldiers are these?

There is no doubt that the two of them will definitely drop their jaws when they know that these people are from a bandit cottage in Shanxi.
